Les Bowen, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles OL Todd Herremans is the leading candidate to be the team's starting left guard in 2006. However, rookie OL Max Jean-Gilles is expected to push Herremans, once Jean-Gilles gains familiarity with the offense. OL Adrien Clarke also could figure in the mix. Herremans is making the switch from tackle to guard. He said he wasn't surprised to be switching. Last season, there was concern that Herremans didn't have prototypical long tackle arms. "It normally takes a bit of adjustment," head coach Andy Reid said, when asked about Herremans' move. "He's worked through it, he's gotten better every practice, and we look for some good things down the road."

Dave Spadaro, of PhiladelphiaEagles.com, reports the Philadelphia Eagles have depth at the guard position. OG Shawn Andrews is the starter at right guard and is coming off of a successful season in which he was voted as a Pro Bowl alternate. The left guard position is a little bit more unsettled, with OGs Artis Hicks, Todd Herremans, Scott Young and Adrien Clarke all vying for the starting position. The team may either allow the competition to play out, or draft a guard at a high position in the 2006 NFL Draft to settle position for good.

Zach Berman, of PhiladelphiaEagles.com, reports Philadelphia Eagles OG Adrien Clarke will get an opportunity to earn a starting job during training camp, but it's more likely that Clarke will work as a backup this year.

PhiladelphiaEagles.com reports while most of the Philadelphia Eagles have dispersed to enjoy what is left of the offseason, OG Adrien Clarke is one of the players who are still working out at the NovaCare Complex. "I've got a job to do," Clarke said. "I'll worry about everyone else July 29."
